a day at the lake

we spent memorial day at mimi's lake house:


And I think the indoor activities were just as enjoyed as the outdoor ones!



not a huge fan of the life jacket!




ummmm......this is the life!


I think charlie completely agrees with me!

the perfect trip

this mother's day was extra special because we got to celebrate at the beach - for the record, this is by far my favorite way to celebrate!





mimi went shopping and left these two little ones outside with us {you know the chopped livers}. they missed her.



and when we hit the sand, emma and charlie hardly sit still. there is lots of digging and bird chasing to do!




and completely unplanned {and a fun surprise}, charlie and emma had matching swim suits.




we always have fun eating out with everyone. it can be.....interesting with two toddlers!



oh we love Uncle Charles!


and finally, is there anything better than falling asleep in your grandmother's arms at the beach?!!?? nope, I didn't think so!

not happening

our sweet friend, John Allen came to visit from Montgomery and his mama made three signs to send a little message to gibson's daddy {who is away playing baseball}.


the message was "we" {john allen} "heart" {emma} "the bean" {gibson}


precious idea. precious idea not happening!
